Step-by-Step Instructions for an Apple Pie Recipe:
- Mix Apples: In a big bowl, stir apple slices with white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and flour.
- Prepare Crust Bottom: Put one crust in your pie dish and press it in gently.
- Add filling: Pour in the apple mix and spread evenly. Place the butter pieces on top.

- Brush the Top (optional): Beat one egg with a little water and brush it over the crust for a golden color.
- Bake the Pie: Put in oven at 375°F (190°C) for 50 minutes, until the crust is golden and the apples are bubbling.
